Where do I even begin, this restaurant was the highlight of my trip. My fiance and I went there 3x during our stay in Paris, each time we brought more people back with us! The service was great, and the ravioli was *chefs kiss* SO GOOD. That was a crowd-pleaser with our group. We ate there on our last full night and ordered pizzas, ravioli, and other kinds of pasta. And we loved them all. I've been recommending this restaurant to friends who have traveled to Paris in the last year and I can't wait to return on my next trip! read more

Stopped in for dinner at Firmine on my last night in Paris. I've visited Paris about 4 or 5 times in the last couple years and this was, by far, one of my favorite meals! Delicious pasta dishes, we ordered the lasagna and another dish similar to Penne Alfredo with chicken and mushrooms. All came out piping hot and tasted homemade! We also ordered wine with dinner followed by coffee and dessert. The service was great and prices are reasonable. I was impressed that it wasn't crawling with tourists since it's so close to the Eiffel Tower! It was a super cute spot with locals there for dinner as well. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Paris! read more

What at first I thought would be a tourist trap, turned out to be a great find right in along the touristic route. Lots of locals come here, which is a good sign. We sat down at about 11:45am and were told that the kitchen would open at noon. However, staff was friendly enough to already provide drinks. We both had the salmon penne, which tasted great and wasn't too expensive considering that you are can literally see the Eiffel Tower from the terrace. My only first-world problem here was the lack of WiFi, since I really wanted to look up travel routes for the afternoon. read more

Visited this restaurant twice this summer while traveling for work to Kleber. Brought colleagues to join as well. Salmon pizza was yummy and the atmosphere is awesome. You can see folks walking and socializing. Caesar salad is tasty, but be sure if you don't eat chicken to order correctly and say "pas de poulet" just in case. read more

The food was delicious! Our service was great until we went to pay for our food. The waiter insisted on a tip when we were checking out. As tipping is not customary in France and my party of four had not been asked to leave a tip at any other restaurant we had been to in Paris, I declined. When I tapped my card, the waiter commented on how rude it was to not leave a tip, speaking many times about our group not tipping. As we watched groups around us, we noticed the waiter not requesting a tip with French speaking guests. Myself and the rest of my group were SO incredibly uncomfortable with how that situation was handled. It was completely unprofessional. I recommend the food, but I definitely felt we were being taken advantage of by being four American women. I suppose I mostly recommend knowing what you're getting yourself into if you eat here. Reading back through reviews, this seems to be a VERY common occurrence. read more

Amazing place in Paris if you're looking for Italian food. We ordered the caesars salad with chicken as an appetizer and it was huge and very good. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a mild gold crisp. We also ordered the pesto penne pasta, which was also really good. Drinks were also good. My girlfriend ordered an aperol spritz and was one of the best ones she's had during our Europe trip. I had a Pilsner beer, which was also good. Friday night can be a little busy, but service was still great. Our bartender was the bald guy, who had a good sense of humor and did his best to speak English with us. I would recommend this place. read more

Cool little street cafe but better than most. We just got into Paris and wanted something quick and something easy going on our stomachs as we just got back from Oktoberfest! I saw they had what looked like wood fired pizza and other traditional French food. Perfect. We ordered the margarita pizza and some champagne. The perfect pairing! It came out fast and the servers all speak English very well. As we sat outside enjoying the Parisian day, we enjoyed the meal. The food didn't blow us away but it was very good. The pizza was just right and well made. Nothing extraordinary but just right. We actually came back here for another round of pizza as we were coming back late one night and wanted something to go! read more

Do yourself a favor and eat here. The italian food is absolutely amazing. Fresh ingredients and delicious flavor. The pastas and pizzas are not to be missed if you are craving italian food. The location is a quick 5 minute walk from the Eiffel Tower. It has a rustic french Italian ambience and is great for an individual, a couple, or a family. I highly recommend. read more

For our last night in a Paris we wanted to have dinner close to the Eiffel Tower. We were looking for something casual, not too expensive and also needed a little break from French food (the menu did offer traditional french options). After reading reviews we decided on Firmine since it's .3 miles from the Eiffel, was reasonably priced and the pictures of the food looked fresh and homemade. We were extremely happy with our decision. The staff spoke English and were friendly to us which was a great start to the night. Two American couples walked in shortly after us who were loud, asked for multiple alterations be made to the meals and were overall obnoxious. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the waiter handled this table and continued being friendly. We ordered a bottle of montepulciano wine for only 25€. We were hesitant to order a wine that wasn't French but this one was just as good as the French options. For starters we ordered the mozzarella and tomato and the ham de Parma (prosciutto). We cleaned out plates! The prosciutto had plenty of flavor, wasn't covered in fat and not overly salty. We cleaned our plates! For dinner my husband and I ordered the firmine pizza and the carbonara. For a meal containing cream, the carbonara was so light and not heavy in my stomach. The egg yolk on top was a perfect add. Once cracked and mixed into the hot pasta it added to its creaminess. The lardoons added a nice pancetta flavor without over powering the meal. Pasta was obviously fresh! The pizza was good but not great. I expected much better considering the app and pasta were so good. The tables next to us ordered spaghetti which looked just as good as the carbonara. I would recommend ordering the pastas over the pizza. For dessert, we ordered the warm chocolate cake. It came with a scoop of ice cream and was just as good as the rest of the meal! I would definitely recommend coming here esp if you need a break from traditional French food. read more

We stopped here after viewing the Eiffel Tower for lunch. We ordered the Tomato Mozzarella and the Ravioli Au Basilic. Both of which blew us away. We then shared the margherita pizza which turned out to just be a cheese pizza with while black olives on it instead of chunks of mozzarella like we are accustomed to. The restaurant is located on a corner looking out at Place Jacques Rueff which made it fun to people watch while inside the tables are close to each other while staying cozy instead of stuffy. The service was friendly and attentive! read more

Food is mediocre, but great if you are in a hurry to visit the Eiffel Tower. The place is a few steps away from the tower. The escargot was ok, but could be better. read more

Don't fall for the tourist trap. Service was terrible. Waiter was so rude! Food was horrible! We ate many places in Paris this week and this place was garbage. Maybe if you order a pizza it would be ok but anything else...be warned! read more

Meh! We got pepperoni pizza and it was super greasy. The four cheese pasta no flavor or sauce. If you're looking for good food please walk a few blocks out of the Eiffel Tower. Also please allocate a few hours to dinner or food if you want to eat good food in Paris. If not you will have to conform to mediocre food. read more

Are we at France or Italy? Our pasta lunch was so good!!!! Tagliatelle a la carbonara (14,00 €) creme fraiche, lardoons, egg yolk. Great tasting fresh pasta, cooked in perfection. Break the yolk, mix it in and enjoy the plate of carb goodness. I honestly wanted to finish the whole thing, but I was so full. Lasagne bolognaise (14,00 €) tomato and minced beef steak. The slightly sweet sauce was so good. The cheese on top was goey and strechier than my yoga pants. Complimentary baguette bread basket is served. Tourist friendly, Firmine is located not too far from the Eiffel Tower. We had the option to sit either indoor or outdoor, not knowing the outdoor patio is the smoking section. Friendly host and non attentive waitress. The waitress service was between polite and not friendly. It was almost like "yes, I will help you, but I honestly don't want to be here" The tables are pretty close together. The waitress bumped into my left arm few times without saying anything. I guess that's normal in Paris? I don't really like stranger's stomach or butt touching me when I eat. Is that too much to ask? QUICK TIP: ENGLISH MENU IS AVAILABLE! 4 stars!! Firmine is yummylicious!! read more

Food is very good but they take advantage of tourists - after a lovely and expensive meal our waiter loudly and rudely asked my husband if he wanted to include tip, putting him on the spot. Even in America where tipping is customary they don't do this! The waiter also was quite rude to other guests who either didn't order enough food or sat for too long. I also noticed they have staff on the streets to aggressively solicit customers to come eat at the restaurant as well. It's a shame they engage in these tactics as the food was good and it soured an otherwise enjoyable experience to be shamed into tipping in a country where tipping is not expected. read more

In the beautiful historic bustling city of Paris there are many tourist traps that a foreign Texan could fall into; this restaurant is not one of them. Located close (3 min walk) to the Effiel Tower, this is the must-stop-to-eat for any weary traveller. The calzone was absolutely mouth watering phenomenal and the tiramisu was pure divinity. The staff was extremely courteous, friendly and helpful. Gabriel is a waiter who knows what to recommend read more

We found Firmine while hunting for Italian food on yelp. It was also really close to the Eiffel Tower and we had been wanting to visit that also so that was an added bonus. It was a couple miles from our hotel and absolutely freezing outside so we took a cab. We got to the restaurant around 6:10 PM and it was fairly empty. We were seated right away and were able to order quickly which was cool because we were trying to get to the Eiffel Tower by 7PM to see it lit up. I had spaghetti bolognese and it was very good. Service was fairly efficient also. The one thing I did not like about this restaurant was there is a sheet of plastic that separates the non-smoking and smoking parts of the restaurant and the only tables that were occupied during our visit were smoking tables and let me tell you, that plastic barrier does not keep out the smoke. I HATE smelling cigarette smoke, especially when I'm eating so that was a big drawback for me. However, the food and service were both good so I still give it 4 stars. Super short walk from here to the Eiffel Tower and I really appreciated being able to get in and out of here in about 30-40 minutes. read more

Visited this restaurant during our trip to Paris in September of 2015. We had dinner here after our evening stroll to see the Eiffel Tower! Not only was it very convenient and a good restaurant in the area it was a affordable restaurant with great food and so close to the Eiffel tower. We had the beef carpaccio to share as our starter and it was of very good quality! We also had escargot, which was my first time so I was hesitant but luckily it was saucy which made it easier to swallow! We also shared Tagliatelle la Carbonara with egg yolk and Parma pizza which was air dried ham and egg yolk. They were all yummy and definitely a must try. As for the service it was as we expected, specially for a busy restaurant. It definitely was not quick and prompt, but it didnt bother us cause it wasn't as if we were on a crunch for time. Will definitely visit again once we go back to Paris! read more

Great food and great customer service! We tried this for our first meal in Paris and decided to have our last meal in Paris here as well.

We came here by researching yelp. It was our first day in Paris. It was a very hot evening and the restaurant had no A/C, as many do not. The waiter that greeted us was friendly and spoke English. The food was good. I started with escargot and had a red sauce pasta. The others in the group had lasagna, pizza and onion soup. They all said the food was good. I did witness a waitress that was not friendly and mean towards several patrons. She was dark complexion with big poofy hair. She had such a bad disposition towards patrons, I took one star away. read more

If you are near Eiffel Tower, you should definitely try this place and give it a shot!

This place is walking distance from Champ de Mars. Touristy but it's in a good location and servers speak English. We came for dinner on a Tuesday night and while it was busy, we were seated out on the patio within 2 minutes. Everything was delicious except for the steak my husband ordered, it was overcooked and rubbery. We didn't let that spoil our evening; after all, we were in Paris so can't complain. The escargot was really good though! read more

It is not easy for me to appreciate the food if it comes with really bad service. We ordered two items for a party of 4, one of which is a child, thinking we will get dessert afterwards. The waiter came back saying "my manager wants you to order 4 items". I said ok, not wanting to argue, but also asked if he can place the order for my child. He came back after several minutes and told me he hasn't placed the order because he has to wait for the two other items. He was rude the whole time. Avoid this place if you expect basic courtesy and politeness. read more

Clearly for tourists. My husband and I sat in the restaurant for about 20 minutes before a waiter came up to get us drinks. The food was alright but definitely not the best option for the price. Oh, and I saw a rat. read more

One of my absolute favorite eats in Paris. When it comes to beginning stages, they were not only the first, but the only restaurant which gave multiple refills of water without our asking. Next, their bread and personal oil recipe were an amazing combination. Kudos for that alone. When it comes to food. The Luigi pizza was full of different flavors and a great finish to the day. Or, the four cheese penne was arguably the best I have ever had. I know it's Italian, and we're in Paris. However, it is absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend it enough to all who happen to pass through. read more

1 block away from the Eiffel Tower for a great night picture. We picked this spot because it was open at 10pm, and it was near the Eiffel Tower for us to watch the light show which happens every hour when it's dark. Food: We got the Pizza, French Onion Soup, and Green Pesto. All the food was good. Pizza crust was on point, not to soft or hard. Green Pesto pasta was good even with no meat. French Onion although was a little expensive was very tasteful. Price: Pizza - €14-16 Onion Soup - €9 Wine - €5-7 / glass Green Pesto - €14 read more
